Obama Ignores Cross Border Wind Energy Theft
Washington Times - Mexico reportedly is syphoning off american wind energy resources along the US Mexico border. Why is Obama doing nothing to prevent precious domestic winds from crossing over the border, free for the taking by foreign energy developers. Republican congressmen express outrage out Obama's apparent obliviousness to the problem of securing our border against energy theft by our neighbors, costing the US potential jobs and increasing our foreign energy dependence. An unofficial spokesperson for the white house asked for a reaction to the conservative uproar over the issue offered the response, "blow here, blow now"

EDITORIAL: Obama surrenders gulf oil to Moscow
Wesk8 from Michigan and others have made some illuminating comments and observations:
Maybe Tencredo has it right, there SHOULD be in IQ test at the voting booth.
Question #1 What is the difference between journalisim and editorial?
Maybe we should have Ms. Palin keeping an eye on this. After all, she can see Russia from her front porch!
THE RUSSANS ARE COMING! THE RUSSINAS ARE COMMING!!
Fear mongering among right wing fanatics such as the author of this piece of jounalistic garbage has become rampant. Don't believe any of this propagandic BULL $HIT! We must invest in the 21st Century technologies that will end our long reliance on carbon based fuel sources or will we all be choked into our graves.
LMAO! it's funny (and a bit scary) how many people are falling for this FAKE news article!
This article is an EDITORIAL, so take it for what it's worth.
In case you missed it, this is not news, it's an EDITORIAL.

this is actually kinda funny. i mean the "environmentalists" think they're saving the world by NOT drilling but what's really happening is OTHER countries are going to go ahead and do it and then we're all screwed.

Remember not too long ago it was the Chinese communist that were going to go after the oil in the gulf under the Bush/Cheney administration. There was also rumors that China was going to buy sections of the grid in the gulf for drilling from the USA. An article about a month ago showed the state of Alaska was thrilled that China wanted to buy their oil and gas, would be good for Alaska. Americans paid for the Alaskan pipe line and have gotten the shaft over it while oil goes to other countries for a better price.

It's just as the "evil energy users" said; Russia and China will drill off our shores while Congress and the current president choke off our supply of oil and jobs while driving up the cost of living. If enough Americans wake up before the next election, maybe we can have part of our lives back.

Can I post an editorial piece and write my own headline too? The headline does not match the headline on the link.
I have seen several cases of people posting inflammatory headlines and writing their own lead paragraphs, then posting them on this site.
Is the supposed to be NEWS ARTICLES of is just and blog for ranters?

I didn't realize that we have an abundance of Oil, that we don't have to import a single drop?? That would be the only reason for not drilling off shore right now...But as we all know Obama has know clue to what reality is or on how to improve the country...He only seems to know how to sink it, and has been doing a real great job of it...

Yep, while we sit scratching our heads about fuel and while trying to supposedly make the environment better, the Russians are coming in to thwart what we are trying to do and while we struggle with fuel and prices they are kicking our butts.

"We must be the only ones thinking about stopping the use of oil."
Please pay attention Yonkers!
Brazil is self-sufficient on bio-mass (much to the chagrin of environmentalist who would rather they NOT cut down rain forest to do it). And Iceland plans to by 100% Hydrogen in 10 years. These are but a few examples of how stifled US innovation is because of the stalemate over oil vs NOT oil.
